[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] A British Royal Navy veteran suffered a sudden and severe hearing loss 5 years ago. He thought it was an occupational injury caused by working in a noisy environment for a long time. The mirror discovered that it was because a small earplug was stuck in the ear canal. After he hurried to the doctor and asked the doctor to remove it, his hearing not only recovered instantly, but he could hear super clearly!

According to the "Daily Mail" report, Wallace Lee, a British veteran who lives in Weymouth, Dorset, said in an interview that when he flew to Australia to visit family five years ago, he felt that the plane was on the plane. The noise was so loud that I bought 1 earplugs to use on the flight, and since that trip, Williams has noticed a marked loss of hearing, even his wife has noticed the problem.

Williams mentioned that he once suspected whether something was stuck in the ear canal, which caused the sudden hearing loss. However, after cleaning his ears many times, he did not find any foreign objects in the ears.

Later, he had to convince himself that the cause of the sudden and severe hearing loss may be the after-effects of long-term work in the noisy aviation industry or an accidental injury while playing football at a young age.

Until a few days ago, Williams bought a set of household endoscopes on a whim and put the endoscope into his ear canal for observation. He didn't expect to see a small foreign body because of it. It was the white earplugs he bought back then that scared him so much that he made an ENT appointment immediately.

The doctor who saw Williams at the time was also very surprised after examining him, and tried to use a tool to help him suck out the foreign body in his ear, but because the earplug was stuck in the ear canal for too long, it was covered with years of age. Accumulated earwax, so I can't move at all.

Later, doctors used tiny forceps to insert the ear canal, and finally removed the earplugs that had been stuck in Williams' ear for five years.

Williams said, "I could feel a tug in my ear at the time. After the tugging stopped, I immediately heard everything in the room. I could hear it clearly. It was a relief." The doctor also reminded that although self-use Home endoscopy will not cause much harm, but if you find a foreign body in the ear, it is best not to try to clean it yourself without professional medical help, otherwise it may lead to more serious infection.
